COVID-19, Firm survival, Government contracts, Government supportsAbstract
Using a firm-level dataset surveyed from 21 countries around the world provided by the World Bank before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper examines the effect of government contract on firm’s survival. The results show that firms with government contracts are more likely to remain open during the pandemic. Additionally, government supports play a mediating role in this relationship. Specifically, firms with government contracts are more likely to receive government supports, and thus have a better chance to survive the pandemic. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for firm management and strategy.
